public works programmes every year at minimum wages for at least
one able-bodied person in every rural, urban poor and lower middle-class
household. In the interim, a massive food-for-work programme
will be started.
- The UPA government will establish a National Commission to
examine the problems facing enterprises in the unorganized, informal
sector. The Commission will be asked to make appropriate
recommendations to provide technical, marketing and credit support
to these enterprises. A National Fund will be created for this purpose.
- The UPA administration will revamp the functioning of the Khadi

programmes for the modernization of coir, handlooms, powerlooms,
